Up to 50% of businesses never reopen following a disaster. This usually happens because the amount of damage was too large and too expensive to recover. Your business should be prepared to minimize the damage to your business so that doors can open back for business.
There are a few things you can do to make sure your establishment is ready.
Continuity Plan
A business that does reopen after a disaster must have a preparedness plan. You must identify the components of your business that are essential for it to continue running. Prepare a plan with the appropriate staff as well. Your staff must know who and what should happen in the case of an emergency.

Have a plan in place. Letting SERVPRO prepare an Emergency Ready Plan (ERP) will help minimize the damage by having a quick response to an emergency. Knowing what and when to do will ensure that the right steps are taken. Something as simple as just knowing where the shutoff valves are can save you from extensive water damage.
